Wikisource:Proposed deletions/Archives/2007-05

Further pasting by Wikipedians
The following pages were created anonymously, part of chronic attempts by a few Wikipedians to impose en-Wikipedia templates and structure on all English projects with no regard for existing templates and structure, or our otherwise successful attempt to keep templates as simple as possible. Several of our templates are actually simpler and more extensible than the en-Wikipedia counterparts, such as the dated category system. These pages are poorly ported and have little use on Wikisource.

 * is an unneeded redirect.
 * is used in other templates to synchronize them with Commons, which is unnecessary and complicates their coding.
 * summarizes guidelines on Wikipedia, where these are numerous and complex. This serves no purpose on Wikisource, where guidelines are few and already simplified.
 * was copied verbatim from Wikipedia, including links to Wikipedia guidelines. Since they didn't even bother to add the interwiki prefixes, the template links to inexistant pages on Wikipedia.
 * colours text using the font tag (deprecated years ago); usage is no simpler than basic HTML, and complicates editing by obfuscating the actual code from users trying to use or learn it.
 * creates "See also ", which is unneeded on Wikisource and very easily accomplished with normal wiki code.
 * synchronizes a link with the Commons so that, when copied and pasted between Wikisource and Commons, it will always link to Commons. This is unnecessary, creates a needlessly complex three-level transclusion, and obfuscates the actual code for users trying to use or learn it.
 * is a duplicate of Commons' categorization help page, which serves no purpose whatsoever on Wikisource (whose categorization system is completely different).

Category:Fiction
This collection of pages is hopelessly incomplete and redundant with the category tree. This will only worsten as Wikisource grows larger and the index is virtually never updated. I suggest the few works and authors listed be correctly categorized, and this index deleted. — {admin} Pathoschild 18:45:50, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

A Collection of Chippeway and English hymns for the use of the native Indians
No idea what this is, but it's orphaned and doesn't appear that it will change anytime soon.—Zhaladshar (Talk) 14:15, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, it was an aborted project of mine with a mimeographed university microfiche...abandoned. Sherurcij (talk) (λεμα σαβαχθανει) 01:47, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

These images have been unused by months, and some were uploaded by contributors no longer working with WS, so the chances of us figuring out where to put some of these is very small.—Zhaladshar (Talk) 14:10, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all. I already deleted duplicates with inferior quality. Yann 14:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Add Image:Almost Perfected.jpg, Image:Dotabs-error.png and Image:WinterMountains.jpg to that list, delete all. Sherurcij COTW:Harriet Beecher Stowe 07:54, 17 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete all. --Benn Newman (AMDG) 03:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

For some reason, the bottom image supposedly "exists" but the interface seems to indicate that it has been deleted. Does anyone know how to fix this glitch?—<font style="color: #000000; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold">Zhaladshar <font style="color: #FF0000; font-size: small; text-decoration: none">(Talk) 15:47, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not hosted on Wikisource, it's being auto-mirrored from Commons - you can't delete it. Sherurcij COTW:Harriet Beecher Stowe 11:44, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject/Proposals
No meaningful purpose, created by an anon without any discussion and without an apparent reason. Kari Hazzard ( T  |  C ) 14:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete along with the Wikicouncil template included on that page.—<font style="color: #000000; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold">Zhaladshar <font style="color: #FF0000; font-size: small; text-decoration: none">(Talk) 13:16, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep it a secret
Appears to be self-publishing through WS, outside our scope of inclusion. Sherurcij COTW:Harriet Beecher Stowe 18:41, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Annamacharya Sankeertanas
Not in English. To be moved to the Telugu subdomain. Yann 11:07, 19 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment. Does not need to go through proposed deletions, It could eventually be deleted under WS:CSD A1 or M2 (the latter only a redirect is added). --Benn Newman (AMDG) 03:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Pakistan Real Estate
No publication date, no author, no source. Yann 11:35, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No appearance of ever having been published - would at best fall under Real Estate in Pakistan or A Study of Pakistani Real Estate, but both projects would likely hate us for transwiking it, and since we hate people who transwiki absolute garbage to Wikisource, we should do the respectable thing and delete Sherurcij COTW:Harriet Beecher Stowe 03:24, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Deleted. Yann 10:54, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Defoe's Robinson Crusoe first edition (1719)
This is an old, never-active one-work WikiProject; such coordination should occur on the work's talk page. — {admin} Pathoschild 03:16:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Modern E-work: for and against

Category:English writers
There's already an English authors category, so there's doesn't seem there is any point to having this category. Wild Wolf 16:40, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
